~ taking it all back

Monthly Archives: January 2014

It somehow saddens me that when i look at my own blog, i realize that i have not written a lot, and every year the updates have been getting fewer and fewer.

I have been writing something but have kept it on the drafts section to be published at a certain date, but i realize that i have been putting off a lot and coming up with a lot of excuses. there are a lot of things to write about, i can write about Arantia and all the success this team has been having all season, shocking this tiny nation enroute to a possible berth in the playoffs and making believers out of naysayers. i could write about the places i’ve been to since i came here, places I only read about in books and visited in the realms of my imagination.

I could write about an upcoming sojourn to Spain to follow the Philippine basketball team in their quest for a return to the elites of world basketball in the FIBA world cup. basically a road trip with the guys. I could rant about the state of my beloved Philippines and how i always play the lottery in hopes of winning so i can finance a hit squad to go after erring and corrupt government officials ( relax, only half kidding). but i haven’t. and that’s on me.

and i know i keep making these promises on my birthday when im finishing off a bottle of wine that this year will be different.

but hey, lately, i seem to have been keeping my promises to myself (smoke free for over 7 months now) among others.

now, maybe i am equipped to be able to do just that with regard to this blog.
